...Moscow added, was a multi-stage rig that weighed 3,245 lbs., with a 796.5-lb. payload of instruments (see SCIENCE) and pennants bearing the U.S.S.R. coat of arms. Its speed: 25,000 m.p.h. The rocket missed the moon by 4,660 miles-about the distance from Moscow to Manhattan...
...Sergo, 29, were guests of Soviet Ambassador Mikhail A. Menshikov-not the U.S.-and "Smiling Mike" Menshikov shepherded them through customs, bundled them into a Cadillac at the head of a procession of five embassy cars.
